First, let's talk about economic logic.
We know that CANDU technology has never been welcome in the United States, and since the consortium makes more money from its American units than from the Canadian unit, it could be inferred that there is no international interest in promoting CANDU technology. From a competitiveness standpoint, there is an incentive to sideline Canadian nuclear intellectual property and to give an advantage in the global nuclear market to American technology over Canadian technology. It's just economic logic.
